Working with the form of the suffrage and union bannerâ€”a graphic combination of image, text, scale and urgencyâ€”the exhibition No Theory No Cry presents an account of how the emotional mind engages the critical. Large felt banners adorned with hand-cut text and transposed doodles are displayed suspended in front of looping and folding intestine- and brain-patterned wall drawings.

A publication called AWAYWITHYOURMAN-VISIONS! (title taken from a quote by American suffragette Susan B. Anthony) will be launched at the closing of No Theory No Cry on 23 February 2013. Originally conceived as a way to bypass the polished, fully formed nature of the traditional exhibition essay, AWAYWITHYOURMAN-VISIONS! is a tangential, wandering and emphatic collection of pages from various makers, thinkers and doers. The publication will take shape over the course of the exhibition, morphing and growing alongside No Theory No Cry, until its final revelation as part of the closing festivities. It will exist as a sculpture/station at Art Metropoleâ€”an experiment in participatory idea dissemination. Those interested in obtaining a copy will collate, fold and staple the pages themselvesâ€”a token physical effort altering the typical processes of publication, distribution and information gathering.

On 21 February 2013, within the context of No Theory No Cry, No Reading After the Internet will present excerpts from Kate Zambreno’s semi-autobiographical text Heroines. For more information, please visit No Reading After the Internet.
